Almost at the end of the day we uncovered in k13 a series of stones labeled as f141. At the beginning I thought it could be the continuation of the stone pavement f93 of k14 to the west in k13. But after a better analysis the stone installation f141, it is evident that this pavement differs in size and construction from pavement f93. The stones are bigger and, to be a pavement, it is very irregular and the stones don't create a flat surface. We have labeled this feature a stone installation rather than a pavement due to its irregularity. Moreover the big stone, already uncovered some days ago appears to sit on other stones. It could be a tomb. Very similar tombs were discovered in the Khabur level in area C2 from the German excavation utilizing several large elongated stones for a cover with smaller stones set between forming a cist type tomb.
